We have the ability to see at a glance how many nurses are leveling, applying, which nurses have BSNs, certifications, et cetera using the ePortfolio and resume functions within StaffGarden. This data is useful for Magnet reporting since we’re able to show an increase in BSNs, certifications, and points to encourage nurses to fulfill Magnet criteria right on the webpage.
